    We do need more information about the versions of 1PW on Mac and iPhone, and whether you want to sync with Dropbox or iCloud or even wi-fi sync. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages (for instance, wi-fi sync means that the data never leaves your local network, but it is not purely automatic after the original setup).

    The information should be in the online guide and easily found, but I have not checked that myself, and there has been some reorganisation of the documents recently, so it could have got lost.

    Hi @sherry1324,

    It is hard to offer any directed advice based on what we know right now.

    1. What device currently holds the data you want to sync to your Mac?
    2. What versions of 1Password are you using both on this device and the Mac?
    3. How are you wanting to sync? There are a number of options. If you're referring to either a 1Password for Teams or 1Password Families account it would be handled in a very different way than if you are using our software in a standalone way where you would instead want to sync using either iCloud, Dropbox or Wi-Fi Sync.

    Some of these you may not have answers for but the more information you can supply the better we will understand your situation.

    For example if you say you have no idea what 1Password Families is but that you have your vault on an iPhone that still tells us a lot. It suggests you haven't signed up for a Families account (monthly subscription) and then we can help you set up either iCloud, Dropbox or Wi-Fi Sync.

    Once we learn a bit more we should be able to help get the two talking and for you to be able to access your vault from either device :smile:
